Pablo Honey, 1993 Album by Radiohead
On some levels it is probably difficult to admit it, but, looking back at this album, and comparing it to the albums that Radiohead afterwards, this album indeed comes off rather badly. I personally think that this album is quite weak. And it is my mature opinion, which is …
“Freaks, Faggots, Drunks, And Junkies” by GG Allin (LP, 1988)
By the late 80’s, GG Allin’s music has become obsessed with murder, necrophilia, sex, drugs, and et cetera anti-social themes. His voice has become a heavily distorted yell, making his vocals sound like a 60 year smoker yelling. The recording quality has decreased to the point that some songs …
The Flaming Lips - Chrome Plated Suicide (Song)

System Of A Down - Lost In Hollywood (Song)
Lost In Hollywood, the final track of the first half of System Of A Down’s double record, Mezmerize/Hypnotize, is probably the track on this half of the record which I would consider to be the most powerful. What’s particularly significant about this track is that it really is Daron …
Should’ve said no
should’ve said no by Taylor Swift is a beautiful song about how this guy cheated on his girl friend and he now realizes he should’ve said no. It just shows how we are all human and at times we do things spur of the moment with out thinking who …
Genesis
Genesis is LEGENDARY British band in the progressive rock genre. Originally, I wasn’t too keen on them, but after Phil Collins took over from Peter Gabriel, that is when I became aware of Genesis as a band, and actually began to like them and respect them for what they …
Sublime - Don’t Push (Song)
Don’t Push is a song by Sublime and the fifth track to appear on their debut record 40 Oz. To Freedom. Opening up with a somewhat laidback feel, Don’t Push gradually builds up thanks to Nowell’s vocal performance throughout the track which features some harmonies and some multi-layered vocals …

Mariah Carey
Mariah Carey really has a very sweet voice. I love her voice so much; she sings love songs very well and has wonderful voice interpretation of R&B songs too. She is the very first girl we have known to have collaboration with “hip hop” singers, and this is the …
Country Comforts by artist Keith Urban
There’s nothing like a feel good country song. I love the song Country Comforts. I first heard it when Rod Stewart sang it and I loved that version. I wasn’t even beginning to love it until I heard Keith Urban’s version. He has a wonderful voice that fits perfectly …

The Flaming Lips - U.F.O. Story (Song)
U.F.O. Story is a song by the Flaming Lips which appears on their third studio record, Telepathic Surgery. The track opens up with a recording of someone talking about their experience seeing a U.F.O. which goes fittingly with the title of the track, but this does get dragged out …
Slayer - War Zone (Song)
War Zone is a song by Slayer which starts off like most of Slayer’s tracks do: very fast and very heavy. I will say that the double bass in the introduction of this track sounds nice but the guitar part just sort of strikes me as generic and doesn’t …
